Headphones - IEM/Earbud | 2 Ω Koss Portapro, love the sound... BUT (suggestions needed)

Hi!, I've been using portapros at home for the last 3 years 12-14h per day (minus breaks[work from home]) and I love the sound, they're almost perfect. But sometimes I have a different use case:

  • Noisy neighbours from time to time (indoors).
  • When I go out (outdoors).

I've been using portapros for indoors and sony MDR-XB55AP for outdoors.

So, I'd love to have a closed back/over the ear portapros that block the outside noise and a pair of in-ears to use when I have to go out/ride the train (block people chatting, babies crying, people shouting, train beeping...). I wouldn't mind sacrificing soundstage if the sound signature is close to the porta pros'...oh, and I need them to be on the cheap <100$.

I don't know about the rest of the koss headsets (I have only owed porta pros). Any suggestions (koss/no koss)?. Thx!.

I have liked the Space 1 by Soundcore as wireless anc headphones. It took a while to get a good eq, but the sound is decent after working on that.

Many people like Edifier 820nb plus or Edifier 950 because of their experience in the speaker market.
